Well, you were all expecting something all red huh? Naw. Not me. Today was a super busy day.
I decided to use this picture because I’ve been thinking about my Grandma a lot lately.

It’s been 14 years since she passed away, but sometimes I swear I can still hear her talking to me. Telling me little secrets about how to handle something. She was a smart one.
I miss her. She would say right now, “Well, Krissy, you just need to just need to [secret] and [secret]” and damn that woman would be spot on!

It seems like I get all those weird spam mails after midnight. I wonder if those people work from home or if they are dragging themselves into the office at 3 am to start mass emailing. Maybe it’s a machine that send them out? I don’t know, spam is like magic, best if I don’t know how it gets there, just that it does.

So, it totally felt like Tuesday all day today. Now it’s Thursday and I feel like I missed a whole day. What did I accomplish in that lost day? A trip to the store and some minor anxiety attacks about…oh, everything.

I did get to visit with my friend Ruka tonight for a little while. I’m pretty sure I have a sickness, I mean, other than the one that is eating away at my kidney/bladder. She had an ipod. It looks like mine. (every time I say I have an ipod it makes me tingly) anyway, hers has colors. So my new mission is to convince her to buy a BIGGER ipod and give me her old one. AND THIS WILL START MY COLLECTION OBSESSION WITH IPODS! I have mentioned in past posts (that I refuse to go find for your reading pleasure) that if I have one of something, I need 2. then three. then four. You all know how many digital cameras are in my house right? WAY TOO MANY. Some big, some small, some that are nearly 10 years old. I can’t stop. Before that it was watches. I have one watch I wear and it’s the kind you have to wind up…but a drawer full of watches.
THANK GOD I don’t have an obsession with like diamonds or something, cause that would get pricey. No one just sends people diamonds. But then again, who sends people ipods either? Kimmy does. She might be one of those non-obsessive-collection people. I’m rambling.

So it’s Thursday and you have your SPF (look up to the right, see, I do update it!) and it’s A GIFT YOU HAVE RECEIVED. This month is all about giving. Anyone need a watch?
I’m actually going to put some effort into this one. Like work hard at making it just right. Capture the beauty of a gift.
I love my red stapler that The Merry Widow sent me back in 2005. When I use it as my default picture, people think i’m holding a dildo.

Didn’t think we were going to make it out of this blog without something totally offensive did you?

June 6: Through the eyes of a child.
If you have a child; Allow the child to take your camera and find something they like to take a picture of. Do not prompt them on what to take, leave them to themselves to pick it.
If you do NOT have a child…you lucky bastards; Get down on your stomach or knees, about the height of child or baby and see what you see from there point of view.

(Kara — It’s her school bag. Her FAVORITE school bag. One that managed to last ALL year)

(Shea — The and only time she’ll touch my D300)

(Rina Roo — They love getting pictures of people getting pictures of them)

(Alyx — She took this one in Pismo Beach on her first vacation with her best friend’s family)

This Friday will be my most favoritest of SPFs! This whole month of May it’s going to be dedicated to music.

May 2nd is A SONG TITLE
May 9th is YOUR MP3 PLAYER (or Ipod for those that can afford such niceness)
May 16th is A LYRIC FROM A SONG
May 23rd is (SELF or SOMEONE) YOU IN MUSIC (playing an instrument, dancing, getting ready for a dance getting into music..whatever)
May 30th- YOUR TRIBUTE

Each week I’ll give you an example so you’re not totally lost. For this weeks example visit the Stuff Portrait Friday page.

Quotes:

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”
-Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
Praise God for those two insomnias!
And the difference between them.” -Rumi

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.
-- "Letter from Birmingham Jail," April 16, 1963

Respect your haters. They are the ones who think you are better than them. -Unknown

You don't understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you're expected move again only you don't remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County
